Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is reduced in cancer survivors and predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD)–related and all-cause mortality. However, routine measurement of CRF is not always feasible. The purpose of this study was to identify clinical, cardiac biomarker, and imaging measures associated with reduced peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) (measure of CRF) early post–breast cancer therapy to help inform CVD risk. Consecutive women with early-stage HER2+ breast cancer receiving anthracyclines and trastuzumab were recruited prospectively. Within 6 ± 2 weeks of trastuzumab completion, we collected clinical information, systolic/diastolic echocardiographic measures, high-sensitivity troponin I, B-type natriuretic peptide, and VO2peak using a cycle ergometer. Regression models were used to examine the association between VO2peak and clinical, imaging, and cardiac biomarkers individually and in combination. Among 147 patients (age 52.2 ± 9.3 years), the mean VO2peak was 19.1 ± 5.0 mL O2·kg−1·min−1 (84.2% ± 18.7% of predicted); 44% had a VO2peak below threshold for functional independence (<18 mL O2·kg−1·min−1). In multivariable analysis, absolute global longitudinal strain (GLS) (β = 0.58; P = 0.007), age per 10 years (β: -1.61; P = 0.001), and E/e’ (measure of diastolic filling pressures) (β = -0.45; P = 0.038) were associated with VO2peak. GLS added incremental value in explaining the variability in VO2peak. The combination of age ≥50 years, E/e’ ≥7.8, and GLS <18% identified a high probability (85.7%) of compromised functional independence, whereas age <50 years, E/e’ <7.8, and GLS ≥18% identified a low probability (0%). High-sensitivity troponin I and B-type natriuretic peptide were not associated with VO2peak. Readily available clinical measures were associated with VO2peak early post–breast cancer therapy. A combination of these parameters had good discrimination to identify patients with compromised functional independence and potentially increased future CVD risk.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
